God and Man in Tehran explores the historical processes that have made and unmade contending visions of God in Iran's capital. Hossein Kamaly examines how notions of the divine have been mobilized, contested, and transformed, emphasizing the role played by divergent conceptualizations of nature, reason, law, morality, and authority.

Hossein Kamaly has taught at Barnard College and Columbia University.
